In the modern rhythm of life, working mothers do not have it easy: there are so many things to do, and then there is also the craft for kindergarten. The process of creativity with the baby itself does not cause trouble for the mother; rather, on the contrary, a caring parent happily spends time with his child. But thinking about a creative project and generating suitable ideas can become a real unsolvable task. All these homework assignments from teachers are by no means a whim; time spent together creating a common project will bring parents and children closer, and the positive emotions received will remain in the memory. The baby himself is not yet able to generate ideas, so parents, mom or dad should take care of this issue. In order not to waste precious time reinventing the wheel, we suggest using ready-made ideas for New Year’s crafts for kindergarten and having fun doing an enjoyable activity.
The master classes collected in the article are of different levels of complexity, so you can easily find a suitable craft for both the little ones who are just beginning to discover their capabilities, and for older children who already skillfully handle scissors and this is not their first New Year’s craft! In general, good luck!
Paper crafts for children
If you still think that only appliques can be made from paper, then drop everything and carefully look at our article! Here you will find many different paper crafts for preschoolers, which you can proudly present to the entire kindergarten! We urgently drop everything and start creating New Year's paper crafts according to our diagrams and templates.

So, for a New Year's wreath you will need: a disposable paper plate, green paper, a red ribbon, as well as beads, rhinestones, mini pompons and other decorative elements. Cut out the bottom of a paper plate to make a ring. Well, we trace the child’s hand on paper and cut out about 12 prints. Glue them onto the ring and decorate. New Year's craft for kindergarten is ready!
Christmas tree made of paper palms: preparing for the New Year with children
If Western traditional New Year's decorations are not to your liking, you can make a Christmas tree from paper palms. For this you will need: a paper plate, a paper towel roll, a cardboard triangle, colored paper, glue (you can use double-sided tape), decorative elements. Cut out a triangle from cardboard (this is the base of our Christmas tree). Paint the Polonets bushing brown. Make three cuts on one side, two on the other. With the side with three cuts, glue the sleeve to the plate, and where there are two cuts, insert a cardboard triangle. Now that the Christmas tree is fixed, all that remains is to attach the paper palms to it. It will be more convenient for kids to glue it with double-sided tape. When the Christmas tree is pasted over, all that remains is to attach the star and the “toys”. Cover the glued spot and the craft is ready!
New Year's garland made of paper: making New Year's lanterns with your own hands
For this craft you will need plain white paper, glue, scissors and thin colored paper, also known as colored tracing paper.

When the glue dries, cut off the excess, attach the light bulbs to the thread and the craft is ready!

See the Christmas tree diagram below.
New Year card with finger paints
Grandparents are especially pleased to receive gifts from their grandchildren that they made with their own hands. The kids, of course, will need a little help. Mainly with an idea, they will do the rest on their own! We suggest drawing a postcard with finger paints. For children under 3 years old, we strongly recommend using specialized paints, because... the baby may decide to taste the paint. See the master class below.

New Year's paper wreath: making crafts for the New Year with children
This version of the New Year's wreath is suitable for older children who know how to handle scissors. What do you need? Green and red paper, ruler, scissors, glue or stapler. We fold a sheet of green paper in half, retreat about 2 cm from the edge and draw it into strips about 1 cm wide. Next, cut it (note that you need to cut from the side of the fold of the paper). We open the sheet and roll it into a ring, gluing it along the edge (where we made a 2 cm indent). You can glue them with glue, double-sided tape or a stapler. Now we close our “pipe” into a ring and secure it. The wreath is almost ready, all that remains is to decorate it (you can use colored paper, or you can use rhinestones, stickers or sequins).
By the way, we also have ideas for New Year’s wreaths and not only made from paper!
Tasks for each group
To develop creative thinking in children of the nursery and junior kindergarten groups, it is proposed to make simple things. These are mainly contrasting paper applications and simple modeling from plain plasticine.
By the senior group, children's skills are growing and they are mastering new techniques for working with materials. Girls are interested in quilling (creating images using twisted paper parts).
Boys enthusiastically take on the creation of three-dimensional “military” models, reproducing tanks, planes, ships and combat vehicles using parts made of cardboard, wood or plastic.

Mixed media painting: watercolor and wax
An excellent New Year's craft would be a painting using watercolors and wax crayons.

Draw something with wax on a sheet of paper: it could be a snowflake or Christmas trees in the snowdrifts, and then paint it all with watercolors. In places where there is wax, the paint will spread and the baby will get an extraordinary picture.

Origami technique

There is no need to cut or glue anything, you just need to use one whole sheet of paper. It is possible to add expressiveness to the craft and individuality by adding some details.

Christmas tree decorations made of salt dough and twigs
You can make a cute Christmas tree toy from dough and ordinary twigs. We prepare the twigs in advance; they can be collected while walking with the baby along the street (many children themselves bring all sorts of interesting things home from the street). We make two circles from the dough and use sticks to lay out figures, for example, a Christmas tree, a snowflake, a house, etc. In order for the sticks to hold well, they need to be slightly pressed into the dough. Next, we send the craft to dry. When the dough has completely hardened, you can proceed to decorating.

Buttons can be glued both before and after drying, but you should decorate them with candies or marmalades before drying and dry them in the oven (the candies will melt and look like glass decorations).

Thread painting for the New Year for children
For the New Year holidays, you can master a new needlework technique with children - paintings from threads. To do this you will need a picture without small parts, knitting threads, scissors and glue. Cut the threads into small pieces in advance and prepare the picture. Now the most interesting thing awaits us: spread the outline of the picture with glue and trace it with thread, press lightly so that the thread does not move. We wait until the glue dries and begin to fill the middle of the picture (we apply glue and cover it with finely chopped threads). The craft is ready, the baby is happy!
DIY snowflake made of threads
You can make an unusual snowflake from knitting threads and twigs. We will need five sticks, knitting threads, plasticine or glue. We fasten the sticks in the center in the form of a snowflake.

Christmas tree on a lace: a New Year's craft for the little ones
We offer the little ones to make lace-up crafts. Children under 3 years old do not yet have access to all the capabilities of their body, so we suggest developing fine motor skills with the help of lacing. Mom needs to prepare a blank on thick cardboard in advance (a Christmas tree, a boot, a mitten, a Christmas ball or something else), and use a hole punch to make holes for the thread along the edges. You need to tie a knot at one end of the thread and wrap the other with tape to make it easier to pull it through the holes in the cardboard. We show the baby the principle of lacing and enjoy the process!

- old newspapers, magazines;
- old tattered books, scraps of wallpaper, scribbled school and music notebooks;
- paper for scrapbooking, designer and speckled;

- large parcel boxes and shoe or clothing boxes;
- regular student cardboard is white or colored with different textures - from velvety to corrugated.
In addition, other auxiliary tools should always be at hand:
- cutting and piercing: scissors, stationery knife, awl, stapler (if available, then a special one - figured);
- ruler and compass;
- PVA glue or glue stick and glue gun;
- paints (gouache or watercolor), colored and simple pencils, felt-tip pens, colored gel pens, markers, brushes;
